Hi JR, No, everything is "roll yer own" here. We have been running since the late 1980's (SQL/DS 2.1 if I remember correctly). At that time there were no cool tools like the ones you mentioned. I wrote quite a few utilities for the VSE side and a menu system for the VM side to make it easy for Operations to do "SQL stuff". They weren't very elegant, but they did their job. I am proud to say most of them still run today with little or no changes as the new releases come along. The code is pretty scary to look at, but hey, I was wet behind the ears back then :) Ed Zell Illinois Mutual Life (309) 674-8255 x-107 .
